I have three (maybe four) Fujitsu 160 MB disk drives and a Cipher 9-track
1/2" tape drive to sell:

One drive is in excellent condition, one formats with quite a few retrties,
one will come ready but faults when I try to format it.  The tape drive
works very well.  The disk drives are 6-8 years old; the tape drive ???.
 
 The drives are real Fujitsu model M2284 drives (unformatted capacity is
 168.5MB - formatted ~132MB).  They are 14" drives, mount in a regular 19"
 rack and weigh 100 pounds each.  They are SMD interface and can be daisy-
 chained.  They will work on any system (DEC,Geac,Convergent and a zillion
 others that support vanilla (1.2MB/sec xfer) SMD.  The drives are 
 addressable from unit 0-15.

 The tape drive takes up to 10 inch reels - 800/1600 bpi (no 6250).  It is
 a Cipher model # unknown - front loading and also made for a 19" rack.
 The interface is vanilla Pertec (they can be daisy-chained).

Pricing is cheap cheap cheap.  The disk drives cost >$10,000 new and they
are $500,$300,$100 respectively - get the fourth free if you buy all three!
The tape drive is $1000 as it works well and is a lot newer.

I will even deliver any/all of this stuff free within 100km of my house
if there' cash waiting at the other end.
